Antique home remodeling projects and gardening 

You are one truly amazing woman. What patience you have, I would be either screaming or crying for all the different cancellations of things that you have had. Just love, love your kitchen window over the sink. Can’t wait to see it all done, and you enjoying your new space.💕💕

Linda..Hi from the UK 🇬🇧... I believe... that the more disruption ...chaos....untidiness...and disorganisation you are currently experiencing.....then the more beautiful...stylish...charming. ..authentic and positively glorious your new home will eventually become..... Have faith Linda... Trust in your fabulous interior design skills and stylish visions for your property. We all are with both you and Ben on this journey and we cant wait to see the breathtaking results and eventual total transformation.. God Bless you. ..😇🙏❤

Hi Linda! My mom watches your videos on tv but isn’t able to comment, so she wanted me to comment for her. She says that she loves your channel, your spirit, and that you speak to her soul. She likes the music you play and all the antiques you use to decorate. She says that she sees her own house through new fresh eyes and appreciates her decor even more. She is pretty sure y’all could be best friends if you lived in north Louisiana. 😊

I love that Miss Willow has given her stamp of approval on the window seat! 😉

I forgot to say Willow is so precious. She’s a wonderful companion ☺️

You’re doing a great job Linda but don’t over do it. Take care of yourself 😍

Love Willow... You are such a busy lady... It is coming along...try to stay balanced... Deep breath. ❤

I love seeing all the progress, and I love seeing Willow in the videos. Hope you get completely well very soon, Blessings.

Love the bench. Yes, it will be Willow’s favorite spot. Sending you lots of hugs and kindness ❤❤❤

Your kitchen is coming along so beautifully! Your bench gives you some pretty views of your property, too!

Can't wait. I love that Willow made herself at home on window seat

It is underestimated the details in remodeling and building.

Linda everything is so beautiful. But please take care of yourself Slow down so we can enjoy everything you Ben and Willow for a very long time.

It is always a pleasure to see you have posted a new video ! Those bench seats are so nice , can't wait to see the cushions . You have planned out everything so beautifully. Glad the guys came to measure for the countertops ! The snow looks so pretty and I would also be excited to have the bench to look outside with a hot cup of coffee. Thank you kindred spirit for taking us along for the ride !!

Wow. Look at all that snow. We have none.

Linda, you are so talented. I absolutely love every design choice you've made. Willow loves the nice bench seats you've made for her. ❤️ 😊

Your window benches look so inviting, and such great storage. Loving the beadboard. You have such vision. Hope you feel better. Can’t wait for the next chapter!

Love the ring on your right hand !

Artic blast coming your way....stay warm and cozy.

First of all I hope you are feeling better. I love your attention to the details. The kitchen and pantry are coming together beautifully. Cannot wait for another update!!

Willow! I love her!

Things are looking good! Willow has claimed her spot!

Hi Linda, good to hear from you. The kitchen cabinets are beautiful.

That window seat is just perfect for Willow. She is one lucky pup!!!

Love all your videos. I just adore the window seat!!📚

First off, feel better! What a beautiful view! I love the snow and sunrise! What a house! Lucky you!

I really enjoy seeing how your kitchen is coming along…I can’t wait to see how you put everything together and what fabric you will choose for the bench cushions…Thank you so much for sharing..Hope you feel better real soon..Stay warm 👍

You have been so patient, hang in there. Can’t wait for the Linda end results.

The Lilac bush looked like it was forming a canopy over that area. I can see it in spring, in full bloom, with a little cast iron bistro set underneath, with tea service for two. What a happy little party that would be! 🩷💜💗

Congratulations on 50K! 🎉

I love that bench seat. It is so nice to be able to see out both windows. 💞 Everything looks beautiful!

Love watching your video blogs. 👍🏼

So fun to watch your progress. I love the benches perfect spot for dreaming of more new ideas.

Hi from Kansas. I’m learning so much from every aspect of your life. I’m also waiting patiently awaiting the Ghost stories.

Thank you for sharing your progress! Love this video!

The benches are going to be so comfy. It looks like Willow is enjoying them already. I love bead board-it’s all coming together so nicely. Hope you feel better!

I love all the windows.

It’s nice to see things are still moving right along. I know it will be epic!

Get well soon!🤧

I had the 'thumping' sound in my ears for weeks - it finally got so loud I couldn't even sleep - then just like that - it disappeared. Dr. told me it may be a residual symptom of the COVID I had in September as my symptoms were all in my ears and sinuses. Feel better soon!

I think I heard a sigh of relief from the lilac bush. Looks like it was reaching toward the sun when you were finished.

Where in the world did you learn to do all the stuff you do. You amaze me! Your actually going to design your own fireplace mantel! how cool. I love your bench seats and how cute that Willow does to. I can't believe how much bigger your kitchen looks now that you opened it up. very nice. Hope you feel better soon. You need to rest!

So happy your feeling better. Love your new bench and Willow loves it too. I love sitting on my sofa and looking out the window. Enjoy your life everyday.

Oh Linda, everything is coming together beautifully! I used the same fireplace inspiration image when we built our house. We really are kindred spirits 😊

Wow it's really coming together.... The view from the window above the sink is gorgeous. Hope you are feeling better,, and sweet Willow outside with her carrying her toy is adorable.

It's coming together nicely! I thought it was cute, seeing Willow🐕 sitting on the window seat! I live in the south and we haven't received any snow☃️. I wish some of that beautiful snow❄️ would come our way.

I feel your pain. We just moved into a new home and the sound of emptying boxes can be annoying. So we’re taking a break and going to our daughters home for a few days and play with her boys/ ❤❤

So exciting! Love the weekly updates. Always look forward to your videos

That bench seat is so perfect with that incredible view! The kitchen is going to be so gorgeous, I am so excited for you!

Great job pruning!!!

That lilac was huge! 😮

I could almost hear the lilac breathe a sigh of relief! Bittersweet is a pox in the garden. Willow has selected her favorite spot, as do all Poodles et. al. Can’t wait to see what fabric you select. Your remodel is stunning.

It's coming along ! Can't wait for the next update! Excited 💗🙏👍🌹

Would love to see you do a tutorial on your iPad designing

We’ve had next to no snow this year and I’m so jealous of your snow. Willow is absolutely beautiful and adorable, and what would a home be without a sweet pet in it.

I just thought, how are you cooking and doing dishes? Things are moving along, anxious for you to get it all finished!

The bench view is epic. I love the progress.

Kitchen is going to be beautiful, I remember going through the chaos when I was redoing my kitchen, but so worth it in the end, I was so excited to see a video today!

The snow is beautiful 😍 thanks for sharing. Hope you feel better soon.

Linda things are coming along glad Willow likes her window seat .The snow looks beautiful no snow still here in NJ can’t believe it 😊

Your channel really delivers for me; what I mean by that is, I find it a treat to my senses, informative, entertaining and relaxing. 👍

Whew! I wish I had your energy, Linda. I really getting excited to see everything finished. I'd even like to see some of that snow. I love a snow-covered landscape.

All my life I have LOVED window seats. How perfect it is you fit with a little extra foot room to while away a little time to read or simply relax! We were hit with snow like that in the Seacoast NH but rain followed quickly and we have lost most of it by today. I have lived in the same townhouse for 25+ years and I remember so many storms with snow up to the middle of my windows on the ground floor! I was was glad to see you outside despite the snow, it is just beautiful. I am enjoying the progress of your kitchen/dining/pantry area more than I can tell you. Thank you very much for sharing the journey 😊

Love this podcast.

The bench seat is so great!

Hi Linda, your kitchen is really coming together beautifully. I loved seeing your flowers in the window. The bench seats with the newly painted knobs, great job! The snow looks so pretty, it’s a winter wonderland over there. TFS! Xoxo ❤

You are amazing!

Linda, those cabinets! I’m swooning over here!❤❤ 😍🥰I kept rewinding the part where you show them because it’s the first time I’ve seen them and they are literally perfect.

Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. When I get bronchitis, I am down and out for weeks and weeks, so I hope you have a quick recovery. I think you better just come to the understanding that you have lost your reading nook to your furry friend! She looks so cute lying on the bench. I just love the bead board in the kitchen and the pantry…. beautiful choice of cabinets and appliances….remodeling is such a process, and seems like it takes forever, but it’s so worth it in the end…thanks for sharing your beautiful home and for all of the inspiration!🦋

How I love to watch and reminisce of the times my late husband and I did our work, gardening, decorating and loving our home. I have since moved to a condo, but am pleased with what we've done. When do you anticipate the kitchen being completed? Renovations got me feeling choked up as you are beginning to feel. Yet, your patience is admirable!( I was not as calm!) Feel better.. I suppose the anxiousness doesn't help with causing susceptibility to germs! We haven't had any winter as yet in Central PA. I sure hope our upcoming fire and ice festival doesn't melt before the end of opening night!

Cutting Bittersweet in the winter is best? Good to know

The addition of the windows in the kitchen look like it was always meant to be like that. And oh how cozy the window nook will be with a cup of coffee and a magazine or book! Don't forget to rest. Nail polish color is so pretty on you, btw.

Everything is looking good. The snow is so beautiful outside your window I love the bench. Kindred Spirit,if I lived closer to you I would be happy to clean and help you . Can’t wait for the big reveal of the finished project ❄️☃️

Oh my gosh Linda, I have snow envy! The scenery looks so beautiful and peaceful. And your kitchen is looking lovely too. Your videos are so relaxing as well as a learning tool and I love how you are so hands on. I to like you have my fingers in a lot of pies. ❤️

Love how the bench seats turned out, perfect reading/journaling nook with a view. I'm sure you'll be fighting Willow for this space :) Take care of yourself and get better.

Love those window seats..its going to be so pretty in there. God Bless.

I can tell it is colder there-the snow is crunchy as you walk. We got 8 inches of snow this weekend! Your kitchen is looking great....can hardly wait to see those counter tops!

Love the progress of your kitchen remodel!

Well hello sweet Willow❤

Hi Linda, hope you get better soon, so sorry the snow is holding everything up. You have major snow and we have major flooding here in Auckland, New Zealand. They say there is another major lot of rain coming tomorrow (Wed 1st Feb) then it should ease off. We certainly weren't prepared for such a disaster. Anyway your video with a cup of coffee has made my morning. Love your snow views. Jeanette, New Zealand.

I love the wooden knobs on the window seats. That is what I have in my white kitchen with the cabinets it's such a clean look I really like it. Even with things only partly finished this project is turning out phenomenal. I love all the storage and creative space you have in your pantry. Eagerly awaiting with all your other subscribers The finished project, as we know you and Ben certainly must feel the same way.🤗⚘

Hi Linda, What magnificent light you have with all the windows revealing your beautiful property. Each season will be delightful seeing it from your new window seats with Willow. I smiled as you told us why you purchased the flowers-to have something pretty to look at during the chaos of remodeling. I am so much that way, needing some beauty to see in the bleak winter months. I have amaryllis blooming now. Everything you are doing is wonderful and I can wait for the finish as I am enjoying the journey (easy for me to say, you are living it). Please take time to rest and fully recuperate. My husband has gone through first a virus during Christmas, then acute bronchitis, to now being hospitalized because his oxygen levels are low. You are younger than he but it can happen to the younger also. I so enjoy being a kindred spirit and look forward to each segment with you.

The bench seats are sooo nice 😊. Such beautiful scenery all around. Nice job trimming the bushes 👍🏻😊.

Love the bench seats! I’m curious to see how you use your iPad for your design drawings. Can you share on a future video please?

I love watching your home projects. I am not a diy person with all the gear. My house needs some love but I spend time watching the experts. You do a fantastic job of everything. It's a rainy day here in England. I am hi ernating right now. Looking forward to a lovely spring and summer.

Oh, I remember those snow storms. We lived for six years in northern Maine on Loring AFB. Linda keep warm, take care of yourself and I hope you are feeling better. Your home is lovely and becoming more so!

I get so excited when I see there’s a new video from you Linda.

You are a trooper! We have had deck construction going on outside my home office, and it's driving me bananas. I've been channeling my inner Linda and trying to be patient with the noise and mess.

I hope you get well soon, Linda!

Linda, it's so good to see you able to work in the garden again. You were tearing into trimming out those unwanted vines with great vigor. I have Virginia Creeper growing entwined in my Arizona Cypress windbreak. It's a nightmare, I sympathize.

Um, I could sit and stare at that carpenter with the black shirt on for days and days😂. I need to tear up my home so I can hire him myself. 😅

Wowwww. Loved this video! The snow is beautiful! We in Kansas are in the deep freeze. My two little wiener dogs about freeze to death when they go out. Hope your illnesses have improved by now. The kitchen is getting there. As always, I can’t wait to see more from you. Take care Linda❤️

I LOVE, LOVE , LOVE that you do so much work yourself. even painting of the knobs...so amazing. i think Willow has found her throne. Can't wait to see the fabrics for the butlers pantry.

Considering your not 100% in health at the moment Linda you are a tough cookie!… these viruses are nasty I’m going through one myself… Love your window seats, can’t wait to see the coverings you select for them. For us looking in everything is beginning to come together, but it must feel overwhelming for you, but also exciting. The finish product is going to look stunning. Well as for Miss Willow SD walking out with her boyfriend today… cute or what!.. Lovely video Linda.🐿

Willow's window(s)!

Willow looks so happy on **her** new window seats. Do we know her doodle-mix or if she's *all* standard poodle?

Looking great Linda, love those window benches. Willow!!!! ....She is too much😁

Willow is precious!! Is she a poodle?

Did you ever think about a double mantel on your fireplace. We took off the old wood mantel because I wanted bricks (which I painted) So when it came to the mantel the original was a little too small. We did a new larger mantel & went up about 8inches & used the small mantel. The wood going up is inset about 5 inches so I have two shelves. The lower one I use for antique small books on one side and whatever on the other. The upper mantel I use in the normal way. I love having two, have not seen another.

Maybe the lilac brach will bloom if you bring it inside!
